as long as you dont use it for any type of sin or abuse your knowledge of a martial arts for the means of doing something sinful you'll be fine.
ive taken martial arts before. Wing Chun Kung Fu but the funniest thing is, i've never had to use it and hopefully i wont have to. i dont like the idea of hurting others but its good to know some type of defense just in case i have to one day.

For a Christian female or male I think its fine. There's a difference between knowing and using martial arts for the purposes intended, and then abusing your knowledge/skill in ways that are sinful.
For example, someone tries to mug me, I'll kick his butt. A guy tries to feel up my girlfriend or doesn't take no for an answer, I'll show him the difference between a hangover and a knockout. Some idiot starts cussing off the deep end at me, I shrug it off.
Plus, there are passages in the Bible about killing in self-defense. The 10 Commandments say "Thou shalt not murder". Murder is killing those who are no threat to you and can not defend themselves.

Se Ga Takai I see no reason why we shouldn't. My parents put me through several different art forms so i'd know how to defend myself, and I strongly suggest anyone going into it. Besides the obvious benefits, many times you learn about teh culture of the country that birthed the art form, as well as making many friends and living a healthier lifestyle. Totally agree with Se Ga Takai. It will not only help you stay fit and healthy but can also be beneficial when you need to defend yourself. I think there's nothing wrong about learning martial arts. Go for it! mrgreen

I definately think it's ok. For one thing it teaches you self-defense and gives you great exercise. And as to christians not being violent. Yeah, we shouldn't be unnessecarily violent but God also calls christians to do what could be considered violent things. Like joining the army or when he calls people in the Bible to wipe out entire nations.
